Did anyone compare the BB vs the RC V2 with the second gain stage activated?

I am looking at getting a used Precision. The seller claims the neck profile is "late 70's style" with a 44,2 mm neck width. I tried looking this up but my search has not brought any consistent results. How does this compare to a 50's Roadworn, for example?

I have been looking at different (programmable) EQs for my cover band board for a long time, for adding some meat to a bridge PU, slight scoop for a more modern sound, clean pick sound, etc -> no major EQ contortions, but some tweaks (+1db here, - 2db there, ....) in order to be able to use my...

I a playing a great early passive Lakland DJ5 mostly panned to the neck PU (70/30%). Sometimes I need to have the opposite thing: the smooth bridge burp. But the sound is a bit thin and weaker. What small sized quality eq will counteract this? Is the DG Harmonic Booster a thing for this or is it...

Can anyone point me to the "right"/"best"/"appropriate" Distortion engine for the early RATM (first album) sound? Apparently a Marshall Guv'nor was being used (before going all secretive from the 2nd album on) as overdrive/distortion. I checked the factory preset by Nate N. but I think the...

I love the sound of my Mesa WA but I need a backup/ second similar amp and don’t have the money for a WD800. What are alternatives in sound? Ashdown ROOTMASTER (RM), Aguilar TH700?

I just got an older Lakland DJ5. I have been looking for a long time for a corean version of this bass and they are quite difficult to find in Europe. What products are you using for getting rid of gunk and some corrosion on the bridge? extra points for products/ names of products available in...

I am looking for an analog overdrive/distortion pedal for bass. (not too big of a footprint) Why analog? I already have 2 digital Source Audio pedals (Spectrum and EQ2) on my board and I am worrying too much AD/DA conversion will induce some kind of latency into my signal. I am not going for a...

Hi, I am trying to fit a touch wah and and an octaver pedal in a single space and I was looking at Source Audio. Is there a Enveloppe Filter (Touchwah) and Octaver in a single Source Audio pedal? I know these pedals ar capable of doing A LOT, but looking at the manuals/documentation, it is not...

Hi, I love the sound and feel of the EB Colbalts 45/65/85/105/125 on my passive 5 string Nordstrand PJ. BUT, as this set is not available per se (the only 5 string set being 45/65/80/100/130) I have to buy the 4 string 2733 (45/65/85/105) set and look for single 125 strings. This is a REAL...

Hi, My Precision (regular split coil) has developed some electrical noise. When my hands are not touching the strings I hear some hum/buzzing in my amp/inears. Upon touching the strings the bass is quiet. Is this a shielding issue?

I just got an early Bob Glaub Bass by D. Lakin. What PU's were in those basses? The seller said something about a Korean PU builder who apparently also does PU for the asian PRS guitars. Do these exist as after market PUs?

Did anyone manage to access the 12AX7 preamp tube? I'd like to try a TungSol Gold (as I like it in all my other amps). After removing the top cover, there is some kind of lid over the tube and I can't really accees the tube.

Just got a MB58R 121 P (the one with the ceramic drivers) and I played it briefly with my trusty =AZX5h48rWS-AG_MdL7c392bTxlOxipnnLK1VzzHurNJcoQ51PsaChRwqieUiT0v_ijDMCxSShxqZ5cdJ535HBYB5C-1Q_bwc0ry-WPHPftDTYZpfQ6bkTgLWDm5gpVzn9B8ea43mxbbaMiEPrUzN7ju9&__tn__=kK-R']Nordstrand Audio Nordy VP5 and...

Any real life comparison between those 2 available?

a little background info: I added a bridge PU to a P bass and not wanting to have a side jack I want to keep a 2 pot look. I have a 62 stacked pot setup that I tried but don't like the sound of it. There a lots of threads about it sounding different than the VVT setup. Can I use one of the...

Just got a 97-00 70's reissue. It feels great and looks great ...... Does anybody know what this inscription in the body cavity is? The bass does sound brighter than my 83 Squier JV. Any idea about body wood?

I am looking to replace the tuners on my Fender Roadworn P as it is the only bass that has reverse tuners and it confuses me tuning "the other way" between songs as I am accustomed to the "regular" way on all my other basses. So, I will be putting Gotoh Resolite GB640 on the A, D & G strings...

I recently started gigging my Aguilar 112x2 mini stack again. This being my absolute fav sounding cabs, they do stay cumbersome for quick load out/in gigs. The amp being my beloved Mesa Walkabout, I was thinking if a Mesa Subway 212. (Don’t like the SL series) Any realworld comparison between these?

Hi, I am about to receive a GED2112 in 19". Can anyone point me to the internal switch/jumper to send the full range signal to all of the outputs, please.

I am in the process of home recording an album for my band. So far I am using a clean REDDI signal and a driven Tech21 YYZ pedal sound into my Apogee duet interface. As I want to keep the pedal on my board, I was thinking about using the GED2112 19" preamp for the driven sound. Reading the...

I am thinking of modding one of my J basses (5 string 34.5") Where is the "correct" P position? For the standard 34" scale, I would know where to put it, but not on a 34.5". Thanks for your help

Reading about PJ sounding different than a P, I was wondering is there a schematic showing how to wire a switch (or push/pull pot) taking the J PU actually out of a passive PJ setup?

Hi, Does anyone know where to source a Lakland DJ control plate?

Hi, I have a set of TI Flats on my 35" Reverend R5L. The low B string has less harmonics and its sustain is shorter. Yes, I checked the distance to the pickups and I don't have this issue with other strings (rounds or flats). Have others experienced as well? Any workarounds?

Is there a single 15" + mid driver in 4ohms available? Looking to pair one of these with my Mesa Walkabout, so 4 ohms is a must.

I have a bass that has a nasty ground hum when I am using black nylon strings (LaBella in my case). It has a Split Coil PU. Is there a way of getting rid of this?

I am about to get one of these jewels. I have played the bass in a studio situation, but I'd like to use it live as well. Is it possible to move the neck strap button in order to prevent the neck dive?

I will do a big studio production and I like the sound of the JC bass a lot on this record we are producing next week. Usually I play a 5 string Nordy VP5 and a Rumblefish RL5 by Reverend. So I am looking to recreate that Jack Casidy sound with a 5 string bass on stage. Washburn AB95? Warwick...

I just watched this great video with Chris Chaney and his Pino Palladino sig bass. I have a 93 CIJ alder/RW Fender P. So, my question: ho do you get the "classic" P with flats sound? Thomastik or LaBella 760FS or 760M? In my memory the Thomastiks sounded rather middy, not that thumpy??? Is...

Hi, My early DJ5 (made in Krea) has the "usual" Hipshot licensed tuning keys. They are not bad but do have some "give" and are beginning to look very worn (this bass has been played a lot) I'd like to replace them with US made ones. What model am I looking for?

Hi, I like the sound of theENR71 Half Rounds Bass, Regular Light, 45-100 by Daddario on my P a lot. But they feel to soft for my taste. Is there a similar sounding alternative with a heavier feel?

When did Markbass change the power amp of the Little Mark3? Apparently it started out as a class AB and the later ones are ClassD. Does this put them into Little Mark800 territory? Do they sound different? Does this make them a Big Bang technically? How do I recognize them?

I joined a band about 6 minths ago and I have been struggling fitting my bass sound into that band. We have a hard hitting drummer, a hammond player and two 4x12" guitar players. No I have tried: Ampeg SVT CL w. 810 cab Ashdown ABM500 w. 810 cab, Aguilar db212 and Ashdown CL414H cab. Now...

My main bass is my passive Nordy VP5 with a Big Split in the bridge position. Usually I run the blend between 80 and 100% P. My main sound shaper is a VTBass pedal in this case (always on) Now, at times I like to use my MM SR5 equipped with a Nordstrand mm5.2 PU and a Nordstrand mm 2 band...

I just some new pedals on the RMI facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/RuppertMusicalInstruments?fref=ts). After a brief email exchange with Jacques, he revealed some of the compressor specs to me: - low noise high performance VCA - dual band design - „soft knee“ compression characteristic -...

I want to replace the "front J PU in my Reverend Rumblefish 5L with a P sounding PU. I am really into the P sound nowaydays and I don't want to mess up a rare bass like this. The front PU being in a rather P spot, I think this should work well. Can anyone recommend the "right" PU?

Hi, In an act of incredible stupidity during last night's rehearsal, I cranked the input/gain on my db750. Result was a farting loud sound when I played the first note. Then the amp shut down immediately. When I tried to power it again, it blew the fuse in the house circuit Upon powering again...
